Porphyridium purpureum is unicellular, mesophilic organism belonging to the red alga (Rhodophyta) group. Rhodophyta form a monophyletic lineage comprising around 6,100 known species and 14,000 that are estimated to exist. These taxa lack both flagella and centrioles during their life cycle. Rhodophytes include many unicellular mesophilic lineages, the extremophilic Cyanidiophyceae (for example, Cyanidioschyzon and Galdieria) that live in hot springs such as in Yellowstone National Park, and economically important seaweeds such as Gracilaria and Pyropia (including Porphyra) that are sources of agar and nori, respectively.
